Hi all

Fitted a new shower at home and the shower arm extends too far out for the screen (pics attached) a lot of water escapes out of the shower and on to the floor. Is there a replaceable shower arm that I can purchase and if so what should I search to find this? Or is just a case of buying a larger screen?

Thanks a lot!

larger screen ideally the full length of the tray
 
What are the dimensions involved?
And is it a shower tray with three sides tiled and therefore just one side to screen off.

Assuming it is three sides tiled.

1) a full width sliding door to full enclose area, this will be water tight.

2) a piece of glass as wide as possible to allow access, and then fit a flapper panel to this glass to extend it further - if this is left at an angle when showering it will contain most of the water , but it won’t be water tight .
